Learning Basic HTML for Your Site

Hi, this is Mike Callahan, Dr. File Finder and welcome back to our special butterscotch.com series on creating your website 101. In this segment we’ll look at some basic html codes. Often, it’s better if you’re just starting off to use a program that automatically put the codes in for you. But if you really want to do this on your own and do it by yourself, you certainly can. I know I did on my first website. I’ll put a link on to this page here called html tag chart. It’s very nicely done which is some explanation. Over here I have a document. You can see that html uses a process where in most cases you have an opening character and then a closing character. You see here, bold, angle bracket B, close angle bracket. And to end it, you have a slash in front of the B. this is true in all of the ones you see. Italic, center, unordered list, paragraph. Now to show you, here I've written a little bit of html and now here I will show you the test page as it appears here. So here is bold, this is a test page. The HR is a horizontal rule which puts a line across. I have italic. I have a good feeling about butterscotch. Here is where you put text. Now let’s see what happens if I take out these paragraph marker, refresh this page. You see, this line pulls up. So if you want to spread things, you can also use a line break. And we’ll save this, refresh this. And now we have a different kind of break. So html coding, you can watch it happen as you type things. I'm using the boxer text editor and it has a function that when a file has an htm or html extension. As you can see it automatically puts in the matching character at the end. So you don’t have to worry about forgetting it. You just put in your text and you’ve already got your closing bracket. Now if we save this and refresh this, time is on my side. Yes it is. This is basic html coding. Very basic. There are lots of details in html coding that can get to be very complex. Basic html for those of you who really want to try to code your own pages. It’s kind of fun, this is basic html. Keep in mind that this is a multiple part series, be sure to watch all of the parts.
